...gates that will reveal, when opened, a great rectangular chasm, 125 ft. wide and running almost the entire length of the craft, into which disabled ships will be pushed at sea. When an ailing battleship is brought into position before the ARD-3, the dock's great bottom tanks will be pumped full of water to sink its keel below that of the battleship...
When this is accomplished the cripple will be moved forward into the spacious midsection of the ARD-3. The water will then be pumped out of the bottom tanks and the ARD3 will rise, lifting the damaged battleship high and dry so that repairmen can get at its vital parts. The ARD3 will t»e so big that it can take care of anything the U. S. Navy now has afloat, and almost anything smaller than the Queen Mary that it is likely to launch...
...much use even to those who can see them, however, for the eastern one is half an hour slow, while its western mate, over by Boylston Street, lags an hour behind. Perhaps the fact that the faces of the dials are upside down, with 12 o'clock on the bottom, might explain their unfortunate derangement...
...resist the mightiest earthquake ever known. If the biggest of battleships hit one of the main piers at full speed, the bridge would only quiver, the ship would be telescoped. The world's greatest and most costly over-water roadway has two decks, no pedestrian walks. The bottom deck for trucks and trains will not be completed until 1938. Top deck has six lanes, will permit 10,000,000 cars to cross annually. Experts predict that tolls will amortize the bridge's cost in 20 years. Drivers may hit 45 m.p.h. on the span. For those...
What motor makers can do in slow seasons is to build up inventories of parts, particularly sub-assembly jobs like axles, motors, transmissions. Notable have been the results. In 1934 at the bottom of the production curve when output was running about 20,000 cars per week, the industry was providing less than 8,500,000 man-hours of work per week. Last year the worst figure, when production was at almost the same level, was 12,000,000 man-hours per week. Total work provided by "banking" in the past motor year is estimated...
